1. ¡Bievenidos a la clase de español! Welcome to Spanish class!

2. Motto Together we can create an environment where learning and fun can take place.

3. Expectations Be responsible for the decisions you make. Only you can control your actions. Take pride in your work. Respect yourself, others and the school. Contribute positively to classroom discussions. Keep an open mind about the cultural and social experiences that may take place in class. Speak Spanish as often as possible.

4. Teacher job vs. Student job TEACHER STUDENT 1.Provide a safe, secure, capable and fun learning environment. 2.Encourage respect for all members of the school and all cultures. 3.Assist you in developing life skills. 4.Teach Spanish in the following areas: listening, speaking, reading and writing. 1.Show up to class on time.

Come to class prepared with book, pen/pencil, binder or folder, homework. 3.Speak Spanish whenever possible and seek help from teacher when struggling. 4.Respect the property and thoughts of others.

5. Rules are necessary Do things that will NOT prevent me from teaching and you or others from learning. No cell phone use unless authorized by the teacher. Automatic Administrative write-up. If you must be late to class, have a late pass from your previous teacher or an Administrator. Teacher will follow student handbook write-up policy. Remain in the classroom during the class period. Only students who have a class in the 11-12 building (Hall: A, B, C, D, E, F ONLY) will be dismissed at the 2 minute bell. Do NOT line up at the door. IDA= inappropriate display of affection. Don’t do it!!!! Dress code: NO busts, bellies, backs, boxers, bottoms!!!!! Clean up after yourself. Only water bottles allowed.

6. Classroom Procedures Fire drill: meet at the flagpole Read the board as you enter the classroom. Look for HW and “Haz ahora” = “Do now”. Request to use the bathroom during “down” time, not during a lesson. Keep HW out on your desk until the teacher checks it and goes over the answers. Acquire 60 participation points per marking period by raising your hand to volunteer answers orally or on the board. Class will end with WILL: (What I liked or learned) about Spanish class today. After the 2 minute bell, remain in your seats until the teacher dismisses the class with an “Adios”. Do NOT line up at the door. Check my Teacher page on WTPS.org website every Monday.
